First, and most importantly, happy birthday mom! Second, I haven't been home when it was light outside in like 3 weeks. Between working two jobs, quitting one job and starting school... things have been completely busy. I've still been managing to work on the bike though, and hopefully it will be finished next Wednesday. Here's a quick photo of the visible progress. a front wheel! All that's left is putting the wheels on and doing the chainline. And handlebar tape, but that's not really essential for bicycle function. It is yellow, however. I wanted red tape, because it would make my bike go at least 15% faster, but they were out. So red next time, yellow this time. In case you were wondering, I went with an 18t cog on the back and a 52t on the front, fixed, not freewheel. I overhauled the bottom bracket, putting in a new spindle and ball bearings which was pretty intensely old school. and awesome. So. full pics of the finished bike *knock on wood* next weekend. woohoo! More projects will be posted as i get my life under control. :_)
